Just nobody mention 'Realdoll'.
Oh. I just did.
Apparently he's using Wolverine's body (and that sounds bad). Wolverine was very hairy. But the figure isn't.

I was checking 'Who's Online' and saw this thread: Post Pics of your Indy figures!
And here we are discussing the merits and demerits of Hot Toys!
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT ?
Now how I came to get this hat, 'tis very strange and funny
Grandfather died and left to me his property and money
And when the will it was read out, they told me straight and flat
If I would have his money, I must always wear his hat
"Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?
Isn't it a nobby one, and just the proper style?
I should like to have one Just the same as that!"
Where'er I go, they shout "Hello! Where did you get that hat?"

LOL, that's the "Relic Hunter", an Indy knockoff. The gear is actually not too bad believe it or not, and the headsculpt has kind of a passing resemblance to Harrison Ford (but more like Deniis Quaid), but that hat! That must be how they avoided getting sued by LFL, by giving him that hat.
I got one to use for my custom Indy a few years back.

A long time ago I bought a knock-off Indy that went by the name of 'Adventurer', back when the Holy Grail was a Toys McCoy. His hat was made of cheap pleather and never fitted very well. He didn't remain on display for long, but l recently decided to use his body inside a Hasbro Dengar outfit.
Both his feet broke off trying to pull his boots off! The jacket also stained his shirt.
Oddly enough, I discovered this morning that on my Sideshow ROTLA Indy the jacket has also stained the shirt sleeves (there's no lining in the jacket sleeves). I was trying the Medicom Jacket on the Sideshow, but it didn't look any good. (Shame because the Medicom jacket is far better made, with a silk-like lining and inside pockets).
So I contented myself by wrapping tissue paper round Medi Indy's abdomen and shoulders, so he doesn't look so skinny. I did the same to Mutt, which cured his anorexia.

The Relic Hunter jacket also has a silk like lining and inside pocket. It really is pretty nice, if not a tad bulky. It's also got that oversized zipper. Like I said, as far as the gear goes, it's actually quite nice. It came with a metal revolver w/working cylinder and metal sword (almost a dead ringer for the TOD sword). The bag is pretty nice, as ar the rest of the outfit. HE even came with socks and real lace up shoes. It really makes the hat that much worse, I mean everything else is pretty nice...I don't see hwo they could have screwed up the hat that bad. Even the vintage Kenner 12" hat looked better.

The Relic Hunter sounds a lot better than the 'Adventurer'.
I know I was disappointed when I first received him, as I was accustomed to Dragon (DML) figures with their fine tailoring and quality bodies (though the faces could sometimes let a figure down).
I'm quietly confident that Hot Toys won't let us down with Indy. They have a reputation, and they often go to a level far beyond the oppositon.

There are some pics of my custom, wearing the Relic Hunter gear, in this thread:

He looks kind of crappy, I know, but this was actually my first attempt at customizing/kit bashing a 1/6 figure. He still holds a special place in my heart

Wow, he blows the 'Adventurer' knock-off out of the water! In fact he's more convincing than the Medicom.

No, I gather this was on display in a window in Hong Kong. faststreets went inside and snapped photos from the back, and I'm sure they're the first from that angle.

Confirmation of some "fine" tweaking is a postive move. So long as it isn't too "fine".

I'm having a love/hate thing going with this Indy.
Since Sideshow Freaks looks too dangerous to visit right now, I checked out onesixthwarriors.com to get my Hot Toys' Indy fix.

Unsurprisingly the same points are being discussed as elsewhere.

Proof, I think, that Arnie has the ability to capture the Harrison Ford portrait, and should be able to correct the issues with the HT 2011.
